@TheEconomist The moral panic over data centers is ridiculous. They generate tax revenue for municipalities, jobs to maintain, and build them. Yes, they use power and water but all of the costs associated with them are can be offset by simple legislation to manage their resource use.
@AlexLuck9 Put AI in it and let it loose.
Thats what we’re on the precipice of doing. It’s the perfect solution to the kill chain problems associated with UUVs.
@ChuckCBPP@TPCarney They say this technology is dangerous and are providing examples. If they’re genuinely concerned genuinely thought it was dangerous what do you want them to do? Is there any way you’d actually believe them?
@William_D_Great@TPCarney They say they’re worried about AI, provide examples of it doing dangerous things and then people like you shrug it off and say we should ignore it.
Thats reckless and dangerous.
@TPCarney@JonahDispatch They’re saying this technology is dangerous, providing examples of it and explicitly calling for regulatory pressure.
If they’re genuinely concerned about AI what else do you want them to do? Not taking them seriously is dangerous and reckless.
@GaryVilla19@WarshipCam@MICHIYAM Yes they’re all being replaced by FLT III DDGs. But for the time being, they’ll be used as the principal air defense platform for CSGs.
@GaryVilla19@WarshipCam@MICHIYAM Theyre about to send even more cruisers to 5th fleet still. Theyre still capable and highly effective air defense platforms. Theyre old yeah, but the hull’s age isn’t necessarily related to their air defense suite or the software that enable missile and air defense.
Northern Virginia data centers paid $1.3 billion in local property taxes in 2024.
Over $2 billion once you count sales, meals, and occupancy taxes.
That's one region. One year.
Every dollar of it is a dollar a homeowner didn't have to pay.
@equipped2parent@bofrench It sure sounds like you’re sour grapes.
The entire reason you twiddled your thumbs is whine about racism against white people. Pretty soft if you ask me.
@Fandango831 That’s untrue. VLS comes in modules of 8. They can be side by side as seen in DDGs/CGs. They are not in 16 cell modules. You’re depicting 5 rows meaning you’d need half modules which would be a new variant of VLS.
@Fandango831 Yes, that’s my point. MK-41 VLS does not have this configuration. VLS comes in modules of 2x4 cells. You’d have to design an entirely new VLS to create the configuration you’re depicting.
